Urban spaces
This document defines and discusses the components of urban open spaces. It begins by defining urban open spaces as all types of spaces between buildings in a town, including paths, squares, gardens and parks. It then discusses the importance of urban open spaces in giving form to cities, providing recreation space, and encouraging social interaction. The document outlines different types of urban open spaces such as waterways, parks, green areas, and plazas. It provides details on the components, surroundings and landscapes of parks, greens, playgrounds, plazas and squares. It also discusses the physical components that make up urban open spaces, including walls, floors, roofs, and hardscape and softscape furnishings.
Neighborhood concepts
- The document discusses two historical neighborhood concepts - Radburn neighborhood model by Stein and Wright, and Clarence Perry's neighborhood unit concept. Both aimed to design self-contained neighborhoods with boundaries, green spaces, and pedestrian-focused streets, though they differed in maximum walking distances and treatment as overlapping vs separate units.
- Neighborhoods are considered the basic building block of cities in planning, with the goal of improving social and physical environments. However, increased mobility has challenged the social benefits of neighborhoods.
- Contemporary developments often prioritize financial goals over unified social and physical environments, though neighborhoods remain important for decentralized, community-focused planning.

Honors Thesis, Landfill Issues in Escambia County
This document is a thesis presented to the University of West Florida examining environmental injustice affecting the Wedgewood community in Escambia County, Florida from improperly managed landfills. It provides background on the environmental justice movement, which aims to ensure equal protection from environmental hazards for all communities regardless of race or income. The movement emerged from the civil rights and anti-toxic movements of the 1970s in response to the disproportionate placement of landfills and other pollution sources in low-income communities of color. The document focuses on the local group Communities United for Environmental Justice, which was founded to address landfills causing health issues in Wedgewood.
Thesis Manuscript_THE END
This thesis studied the effects of leachates from the closed San Mateo Landfill on the water quality of the Bosoboso River. The landfill operated from 1990 to 2006 and discharged leachates into the river via an unnamed creek. The study aimed to determine the current state of the river through measuring physicochemical parameters, chemical oxygen demand, and metal (copper and iron) concentrations at various sites. Results found elevated levels of COD, copper, and iron throughout the river, indicating poor water quality and lingering effects from the landfill. The conclusions supported findings from a previous 1999 study, showing increased parameter levels even after a 10-year gap since the landfill's closure.

A case study on characteristics of solid waste & leachate treatment of ok...
Abstract
Delhi is the most densely populated and urbanized city of India. The annual growth rate in population during the last decade was almost double the national average. Delhi is also a commercial hub, providing employment opportunities and accelerating the pace of urbanization, resulting in a corresponding increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation. Presently Delhi generating about 6500 tonnes/day of MSW out of which only 70-75% wastes are able to collect by the MSW management authority and rest amount of wastes are not possible to collect for the habit of people to thrown the wastes in empty places. At present three main landfill sites of Delhi are Bhalaswa at north Delhi, Ghazipur at east Delhi, and Okhla at south Delhi. But not a single landfill are sanitary landfill rather wastes are dumping crudely as a heap of wastes in open landfill. As a result the leachate generated due to percolation of rain water and squeezing of wastes itself posing a great threat in the surrounding soil structure of the landfill. Around the periphery of landfill, soils gets highly contaminated and toxic and degraded it’s essential nutrients [4,6]. In this paper a case study on characteristics of solid wastes of Okhla landfill and performance of it’s leachate treatment is carried out for future planning and proper management of soil structure around the periphery of landfill site.

Landscape urbanism
Landscape urbanism is a hybrid of urban design and landscape architecture that focuses on designing spaces for change over time through multi-scalar and synthetic approaches. It draws on local ecology and culture. The term was coined in the 1990s and its status in India is compared to approaches in America and Europe. Grounding methodologies include integrating knowledge from various disciplines, understanding temporality, allowing ideas to translate across scales, and utilizing local intelligence.
Landfill Issues
Modern Landfill located at 4400 Mt. Pigsah Rd. in York, PA manages waste disposal through landfilling. While landfilling provides economic benefits, older unlined landfills have caused pollution issues. However, modern landfills are built with liners and systems to collect and treat leachate and gas to prevent pollution. Methane gas collected at landfills can also be used to generate renewable energy. While landfilling has downsides like odor and wildlife issues, proper management of modern lined facilities can safely contain waste.
Grady Road Landfill
The Grady Rd. Landfill receives around 1200 tons of waste per day from various sources like restaurants, schools, and construction sites. The waste consists primarily of municipal solid waste (85%) along with some construction and demolition debris (10%) and special wastes (5%). At this landfill, the waste is not separated and is processed using equipment like evacuators, compactors, and bulldozers. The landfill structure involves filling the site in phases with double covers to prevent erosion and contamination of the surrounding area. Water monitoring of the leachate is conducted through groundwater wells and testing every 3 months.
Landscape Ecological Urbanism: Pallikkaranai Marsh Land, Chennai
Landscape Ecological Urbanism is an emerging theory that synthesizes Landscape Urbanism and Urban Ecology. It focuses on the distribution and flows of landscape elements and ecosystems at multiple scales. The proposal for restoring the Pallikaranai marsh in Chennai, India using this approach demonstrates how it can be applied to ecologically sensitive urban design and regional planning. It involves widening drainage networks, using geosynthetic lining to filter wastes from the marsh, and gradually improving water quality over time with fresh water inputs.

Introduction to Environmental Science.pptx
The document discusses environmental issues related to resource use and sustainability. It begins by discussing the gold rush population boom in San Francisco and the 1906 earthquake and fire that damaged infrastructure. To address water issues, city planners sought to dam Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite National Park, igniting a debate between anthropocentric and ecocentric views. The document then covers various environmental topics like nonrenewable resources, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ethics. It examines tensions between short-term economic gains and long-term sustainability, and differences between developed and developing nations in standards of living and environmental impacts. Throughout, it emphasizes that human society and the environment are interlinked systems that must achieve balance to allow for continued

Renewing natural processes_in_an_urban_area
The document summarizes the history of pollution in Onondaga Lake near Syracuse, New York, and efforts to remediate the lake through legal action and infrastructure improvements. It describes how a non-profit organization sued Onondaga County in 1988 over sewage violations, which led to a settlement and amendments requiring both gray (sewer) and green infrastructure to manage stormwater and improve water quality. The benefits of green infrastructure include reducing pollution, creating habitat, and improving communities.
Picatinny2
This document summarizes the history of contamination at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey and remediation efforts under CERCLA. Weapons manufacturing at Picatinny Arsenal since the 1800s has led to groundwater, surface water, soil, and air contamination. The EPA placed the site on the Superfund National Priorities List in 1990 due to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals exceeding standards. Initial site investigations identified TCE and chromium VI contamination requiring remediation. The federal government and Department of Defense have funded ongoing cleanup through monitoring, excavating contaminated soil, and implementing land use controls to prevent exposure.

Funding for mine land reclamation is difficult to acquire and, while the environmental benefits of reclamation are fully understood, the economic benefits of reclamation are just beginning to be appreciated. Innovations in landscape design and reuse planning can attract partnerships with lenders and investors and spur the economic development associated with reuse of abandoned mine lands. Strategies like energy development, carbon sequestration, and wetland banking can address environmental concerns, but should also preserve historical and cultural legacies in order to maximize economic gain. These environmental strategies are now being encouraged by State and Federal agencies, while the cultural legacies are more universally overlooked. This presentation will discuss the ways in which environmental design of reclamation projects could benefit both economically and environmentally by the inclusion of preservation and consideration of historical and cultural legacies of the sites, while still utilizing core environmental strategies.A history of air pollution events
This document provides a summary of air pollution incidents and legislation in the United States. It begins with a brief history of air pollution events dating back to medieval England. It then outlines key air pollution incidents that occurred in the US between the early 1900s and 1992. The document also summarizes major US air pollution laws passed between 1955 and 1990, highlighting increased regulation and standards over time. Finally, it lists various educational resource materials on air pollution, including audiovisual and print resources.
Landfills atia amatullah
Landfills are designed to isolate garbage from the environment using layers of clay and plastic lining. There are concerns about landfills contaminating groundwater and releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. As less space becomes available for landfills, waste management strategies aim to reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost materials to lessen environmental impacts.
Solid waste management
This document provides an overview of waste management. It begins with definitions of waste and discusses the history of waste disposal from ancient times to the present. It describes the different types of waste including solid waste, sewage, and sullage. Methods of solid waste storage, collection, and disposal are outlined including dumping, controlled tipping, incineration, composting, and others. The Bangalore and mechanical methods of composting are explained in detail.
Onondaga lake
Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, New York is the most polluted lake in the United States due to heavy industrial pollution over the last 200 years. Pollutants like mercury, PCBs, and other chemicals have contaminated the lake sediment and fish. The lake has been listed as a federal Superfund priority site since 1994. The estimated $451 million cleanup plan began in 2005 and involves dredging over 2.5 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment, capping areas with clean material, and treating water to reduce pollution levels and make the lake safe again. While lake water quality is improving, concerns remain about residual pollution and whether remediation will achieve long-term sustainability.
A Brief History of Waste Disposal
This document provides a history of waste management practices and discusses various methods for dealing with municipal solid waste and hazardous waste. It describes how waste was initially dumped untreated into land or waterways (the "dilute and disperse" method). Later, sanitary landfills were developed that involved compacting and covering trash with soil. However, landfills have limitations and can pollute nearby areas. The document then outlines various integrated waste management strategies like reducing, reusing, recycling, composting, and incineration. It also discusses challenges with disposal of hazardous waste and major hazardous waste sites like Love Canal.
Nature based sustainable sewage treatment
80% of the globe does not have a sewage connection. The cost of no action is in the trillions of USD. Wetlands are consistently rated as the most valuable terrestrial biome. Engineered wetlands as a decentralized model of sewage treatment is viable economically and ecologically. Data is provided to support that claim. Credits are provided in the presentation with links to sources. If something is unclear what the source is please let me know. Thanks to: Jan Vymazal; Ayala Water & Ecology, Migal Qiryat Shemona.
Acid Rain Webquest Powerpointv2
The document discusses four perspectives on acid rain:
1) The biologist discusses how acid rain affects forests, soil, and fish. Forests in Germany and Switzerland have seen declines in biomass of 20-73% in some tree species due to acid rain. Soil nutrients are depleted through leaching. Fish are killed when acidity in waters increases.
2) The economist discusses the Clean Air Act and its $119 billion benefits. Acid rain destroys forests and biodiversity, contaminates drinking water, harms agriculture and livestock, and decays infrastructure and historical monuments.
3) The health officer states that while acid rain itself does not directly harm humans, the pollutants that cause it (sulfur dioxide

SilcoVsEPA
Silco Distributing was fined $10,000 by the EPA for violating the Clean Water Act when a storm caused over 2,800 gallons of ethylene glycol to spill from storage tanks at Stapleton Airport into Sand Creek. Ethylene glycol is toxic to aquatic life and caused environmental damage, particularly in Bluff Lake. As part of the settlement, money was used to restore the banks of Sand Creek and preserve the Bluff Lake area for public use. The incident highlighted the importance of holding companies responsible for environmental pollution.
The Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon National Park contains exceptional natural beauty within its boundaries. The park spans geological eras from Precambrian to Cenozoic times and portrays five North American life zones within the canyon walls. It contains over 1,700 plant species, 170 fungi species, and 60 moss species. Threats include invasive species and air pollution, but the National Park Service manages the park, working to preserve the landscape and eradicate threats through techniques like controlled burns.

- 1. Fresh Kills Landfill to Park Fall 2010 Semester Research Katherine Brigandi Patricia Cannizzaro Elizabeth Che Michael Dibenedetto John Troino Website: http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/sigd
- 6. Introduction The Fresh Kills Landfill was once the second largest landfill in the entire world. It was opened in 1947, originally as a temporary landfill, but remained in operation for 50 years. Like most landfills constructed in the 1940s, Fresh Kills was not designed with liners or any other form of lechate control. Other problems such as local water contamination, hazardous chemical release, and local opposition lead to the closing of the landfill on December 31, 2001. Today, Fresh Kills landfill is being turned into a park over the span of 30 years. Landfill caps and other gas collection and treatment systems are used to ensure proper containment of wastes and promote a safe environment.
- 18. Future Plans: The park will be three times the size of Central Park. Parts of the park will be completed before others but the entire park is expected to take approximately 30 years to complete. Fresh kills Park will have five main areas: the Confluence, North Park, South Park, East Park and West Park. Each of these areas will have unique characteristics. Some of the fun and adventurous activities offered in the park will include horseback riding, mountain biking, nature trails, kayaking, and large–scale public art. Fresh kills Park will also support richly diverse habitats for wildlife, birds and plant communities. Settings of immense recreation will allow for some of the best camping sites in all of New York.
